My Writing: Science Fair Reflection

In Te Ngahere We are doing this thing called a science fair in a group of 3 my group is Cahaly and Alexander. Our experiment is to see what liquid would make a screw rust the fastest. We learnt that salt water will rust a nail faster than, water and soda water. We also learnt to keep our nail away from salt water We also learnt about time management I also learnt how to write a method and I learnt what a controlled variable a dependent variable is and a independent variable is . What my group found difficult was we didn't no know whos house to do the experiment at and we had difficulties doing our variables because we didn’t know what the variables meant. What we would do differently next time is do it at school so we would not forgot to take photos of the cups. We would also make them into glass cups so light could go into the cups so the photos would not be so dark and blurry, last we would use a phone so the photos we will be clear and not all wiggly and blurry. Me and my group in the end had to use Tu Maia because we were in the pit and we were scared to ask a teacher to print it again because whaea becks said we had to pay her next time so we used Tu Maia and asked if they could print our slides again.

 

Have you ever finished a science project?

 

Mosaic Art

 In Te Ngahere the class did Mosaic art our teacher was Gail and  she showed the class how to do it. It's when we go on to Google drawings we put a picture on and trace it with poly-line and we have left  a gap between each of them. We did them for our QR codes for our Ngahere  animal or plant we were researching about. think what I did well was the shape of its face. What I could do better is put a background and add more shapes. I think it was hard at the start to get all the shapes right.

Have you ever made Mosaic art before?

What We Did For Project Island

 In Te Ngahere the year six students got to go on a trip to Urupukapuka Island. And ria gave us booklets and there were birds and we put a cross in the box. When we got there we got morning tea.We got to go on a trip to learn how to plant trees it took a long time to get there i was holding a shovel then a plant and we went down a huge hill and we learned about a lot of trees. After we got to have our lunch. Then we built some rat traps and we went for a walk and we saw two cute dogs that we got to pat. And we went back on the fairy and on the way back saw dolphins. 

Have you ever been to Urupukapuka Island?

Smart Relationships

  In Te Ngahere on wednesday we did a thing called smart relationships and we watched a video. It was like what happens on social media but in real life this guy was copying this girls photos and he said he was thirteen but he was an adult. We had to do a D.L.O about three main points that happened in the video and we had a group mine was Hudson and Jayden.t. For our D.L.O we did a short animation it was about this guy who was lying about who he was. 

Are you cautious about people on social media?

What We Did For The Soccer Rotation

 Yesterday my house group we did soccer for the P.E rotations. What we did first was we put out six cones in three rows. We ran at one then back another and did that for all the cones the we did this thing when whaea penny said down we had to do a roly poly. After we went 20 meters away from each other and we formed a circle and we had to pass to each other. Then we put intasepters so it was harder for everyone to pass. Are you good at Soccer?

P.E Rotation

 We did this thing called rotation  its when when you change your sport every Monday and Thursday the sports are touch soccer netball and skills. First I did skills then I did netball then going to do touch and soccer. I found doing skills very easy but I did not like doing netball. I’m looking forward to doing touch. I found hard in netball was passing and catching. Do you like touch or rugby or any sport I just said?

The Fish Drawing

 In Te Ngahere we had to draw some fish on google drawings. It was fun because we go to do it for the first time. I had Drawn a cat and I named it galaxy. I enjoyed doing this because I like drawing animals and I have two cats that are bermes. We watched a video how to use google drawings. We were learning how to use the tools on the google drawing we were also learning how to share our learning. I think it was hard learning what every button does. I think I did very well of doing a cat. Next time I can do a better drawing next time. Have you ever done google drawing?
